Autoupdates won't install
Hardhead
Updates download, but won't install. Each time I start it up, I have to go
through the download/ install operation, but they don't install. This is a 6
year old HP Pavilion. Updates worked fine prior to the reinstall. I've read
the troubleshooting more than once, but can't solve it.

Try one (or both) of these:
(Some have the best luck performing Solution 1, rebooting and performing
steps 3-6 of solution 2...)
Solution to try (1):
Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO"
Solution to try (2):
1) Reboot and logon as a user with Administrative Privs...
2) Immediately run the following batch script (You will have to create it by
cutting/pasting as directed.)
- Click Start, Run, type: notepad C:\register.bat and press Enter. Choose
Yes when you are prompted.
- Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad

5) Reboot.
6) Come back and let us know how things went!

I did your first option, after reading Anna's reply. Updates are installing
as I type. I followed your instructions exactly. I didn't get to your second
option. Dial-AFix was written by a genius!!

I can not thank you enough. After days of frustrations ttrying to install 74
downloaded updates using various commercially available softwares to correct
error/s in Windows XP, I finally succeeded following your advice. Many
grateful thanks to you. The Dial-a-fix people are brilliant! Many thanks are
due to them too.
Sincerely,
kjabal.

You didn't *need* a non-microsoft software to fix the issue. I gave a batch
script that does much the same thing the utility does as well - with built
in functionality. You chose to go the easier (visually/mentally) route.
This is why I gave both choices in the first place. All that Dial-A-Fix
does is utilize built in commands to re-register various DLLs, clear out
various folders, etc.
Also - it is not the first time that the fix for a problem came from a
source other than the makers of the product with whom the trouble is
associated with. It's not limited to the software industry either.

Thanks from me, too, it's been driving me nutty.
I was referrd to this group by Ron Badour from xp.general.
I'm off to thank him now.
(I'd be happy to make a donation, but I've a new clean address, and after
using Paypal on my old one I drowned in spam - I could always post a nice
new five squid note, but in England a fiver is now deprecated as being
beneath ther banks' contempt, so they're all old and manky - like me)

Option 1 worked for me, also. I had 77 updates that I tried to install for
2 days. You guys are great.
